Who else should we vote? Tory? To be perfectly honest, I doubt anyone other party stands a chance.

Thank God... Without British support, Bush will have to say,
"We have a coalition of the willing... and powerless...[countrys]"

Great! That guy is so overly critical of my work, I mean, I know it isn't the best, but why do you have to focus on me!?
Oh, the Prime Minister.....cool...I guess....

I'm from the US so don't know about the elections in England... but I can say that here in the states, if Hilary Clinton (a woman) runs for president in 2008, she's got my vote!  |

Hey, its your country. I agree with all but two of her political views... video games and gun control. I feel we need a change in the type of leadership in this country and what better way to affect that change... by allowing a woman to have a go at it. |

She'd probably have mine as well. I vote on the sum total of all the issues. The fact that she thinks that violent video games shouldn't be sold to minors doesn't really matter to me. |

First hellspawn every represented in office! No, wait, there's Reagen. Meh. And I'm from the US and I've heard about it....  In fact, I thought this was old news. I'd heard he was talking about it some months ago. Well, let's just hope the next guy isn't the US president's lap dog. |

Possibly Labour wants to harness the few remaining voters left.
After Labour is doing really GREAT here in New Zealand I wonder what Britain is going to be like?
I think I'm agreeing with my parents and vote for Conservative.

I think I'm agreeing with my parents and vote for Conservative. Labour have been in power too long. We need a more liberal and socialist government to replace them. The conservative party here is led by the man who was partly responsible for the worst financial disaster in recent British history (when Thatcher was prime minister). I certainly don't want 15+% interest rates. The fact is there aren't really any credible political parties in Britain just now. It's times like this I wish Raving Lord Such was still alive. |

Can't you just some Nobility to step in and help out? Sure they are doddering old fools but at least they are conservative and help stabilise the parties until everything is okay.

I'll never vote Republican or Democrat for as long as they continue their current platforms, because they are two sides of the same coin. I want a new coin, goddamnit! Both parties are WAYYYY too far right for even a consideration by me. I like how Democrats still style themselves "liberals" in spite of...well almost everything they do. Same with Republicans calling themselves "conservatives." It makes me laugh. |

LinkSo it would seem after all that pressure Tony Blair is going to step down as prime minister. About time too. Although you can bet it'll Gordon Brown taking over, which isn't really that much of an improvment. Hopefully we don't need to wait until 2009 for the next election. Which under the guise of public fear will inevitably get re-elected - just as it happened here in Australia and the USA. Fear makes people do irrational things - like voting for the right... Or christian parties. |

Does anyone else think Tony looks a lot older? And tired? He certainly does look a lot older and tired to me now. I can remember when he got elected back in 1997, and he's changed a lot since 9 years ago.  Tony Blair 1997  Tony Blair 2006 That's some aging process. |
